"I don’t have just them on my face."

"Oi, oi... No one's asking you where else you have them."

Until today.

Breaking the kiss suddenly, Koujaku backed off a bit and gave the younger a look.. One more curious than anything as he reached over to pass a finger over Noiz's lower lip.

"You know..."

Memories of their relationship were fuzzy.. It was rather odd. Being in a relationship for so long and only remembering bits and pieces. He remembered Noiz making the first move.. It wasn't serious at first.. And then? Well.. Either way, he felt they should at least go out on a date. If they couldn't remember what they'd done in the past months then why not make a few new memories, right? 

But the brat was as stubborn as ever. 

Despite various attempts to get his attention, Noiz continued staring at the screen of his coil for sometime before Koujaku reached over to shut the damn thing off and sit next to him on the couch. 

"There..." 

Making a daring notion, Koujaku moved his arm over the younger's shoulders to pull him a little closer with a teasing grin. No matter what the other's reaction was to having his coil turned off, the older man didn't give him a chance to complain before he spoke again.

"Your choices and farewells shall be the last data we collect.  After the 15th we will no longer have contact with the city.  Choose wisely."

Home..

The moment the announcement ended, Koujaku had been thinking. Waiting in their shared room for Noiz to come back. Surely, he was on his way. After the announcement, he didn't doubt that Noiz would want to head back... It was good news, wasn't it? Even for Noiz.. It must have been nice to hear. A new found reason and idle hope that they could actually return home. 

But.. Did Koujaku want to return?

Three.. Four.. No five. Five cigarette butts were placed in the ashtray he'd emptied not too long ago. He'd gotten anxious while waiting for the other and he even had another held between two fingers as he stared out the window. Could he return home? Live normally? After everything that had happened during his time in Hive City... Was it possible? Knowing that he'd forget it all.. The people he'd met... The times shared in the city. His talk with Aoba. Noiz.. Everything about Noiz... 

And everything Noiz knew about him.. It seemed impossible for those memories to leave them but he didn't doubt these scientists. Of course, their last promise to return home had ended up... Well, it had ended shamefully but it was still something he didn't want to forget.. Because Noiz had accepted him and his entire being in that time. 

So he waited.. 

Already, he decided what he wanted to do. He just waited to see Noiz. To talk to him.. And see just what he thought as well. 

Soon enough, the door to their shared room opened and clicked shut once Noiz had entered. He stared out the window a moment longer before exhaling, a trail of smoke lingering as he turned to face Noiz.

"Yo.." 

6: gets in more fights

Without warning, he pulled off the mitten he wore and used his thumb to pry the other's mouth open to get another look.

"Tch.. And you think I could get one of these, huh?"
